Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical display technology, and in particular to a multi-functional expansion component for a medical display and a medical display. Background Technology

[0002] When viewing traditional medical radiology films, doctors need high-brightness backlighting to enhance the identification of subtle lesions, improve the accuracy of image interpretation, and reduce misinterpretations. Previous solutions involved turning on a film lightbox to increase backlighting, which not only required hospitals to purchase additional lightboxes, increasing expenses, but also, since most lightboxes were wall-mounted, doctors had to use both hands to support the film, which was inconvenient. With the development of display technology, most medical monitors now integrate a lightbox mode that facilitates image reading, replacing the traditional film lightbox. The principle is that doctors can access the lightbox mode by adjusting the monitor's menu, keeping the monitor's backlight constantly on, functioning similarly to a lightbox. Simultaneously, the doctor can fix the film to the front of the monitor frame for viewing.

[0003] To achieve the above functions, doctors need to perform two steps: First, fix the film to the monitor's front frame. Common methods for fixing the film involve placing a metal plate or magnet on the upper inner side of the monitor's front frame, along with a film clip. This clip is typically designed as an L-shaped plastic clip, matching the cross-sectional shape of the monitor's front frame, and contains a built-in magnet. When viewing the film on a medical monitor, the doctor first places the film on the upper front of the monitor's front frame, ensuring the developing area of ​​the film is on the screen. Simultaneously, the doctor manually presses one side of the L-shaped film clip against the film, while the other side rests against the top surface of the monitor's front frame. The built-in magnet in the clip attracts the metal plate or magnet on the inner side of the monitor's front frame, holding the film firmly in place. Second, the doctor manually touches or presses the monitor's buttons to access the OSD menu, switching the monitor from normal mode to lightbox mode. After viewing the film, the doctor manually switches back to normal mode. This process is cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0004] Currently, most medical monitors have relatively limited lightbox mode functionality, only allowing full-screen illumination. Common radiology films on the market come in several different sizes: 203*254mm, 254*305mm, 279*356mm, and 356*432mm. When using a medical monitor's lightbox mode to read small-sized medical films, if the monitor can only illuminate the entire screen, the light source in areas not covered by the film will not only cause visual interference during reading, affecting the reading effect, but also cause eye fatigue for doctors over time.

[0005] When doctors view electronic films directly on medical monitors, the illuminance of the viewing environment must typically be less than 20 lux to prevent screen glare and ensure accurate lesion identification. This requires doctors to view bright monitors for extended periods in near-dark environments, often leading to eye fatigue and eye strain, impacting their visual health. Currently, most medical monitors, due to cost constraints, do not have solutions designed to alleviate the eye health problems caused by dim environments. Furthermore, dim environments may prevent doctors from clearly seeing the desktop, making writing and keyboard use inconvenient and affecting work efficiency. Users requiring desktop lighting must purchase external lighting fixtures, similar to screen lights. These external fixtures come in various types and designs, often failing to integrate well with the design of medical monitors. Additionally, third-party manufacturers may develop fixtures that are unsuitable for certain situations, such as not being able to be hung directly above the medical monitor screen.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-functional expansion component 2 for a medical display, which consists of a base 21, a cover plate 22 and a micro switch 2103. The base 21 is detachably mounted on the front frame of the medical display 1. One side of the cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to the base, and the other side is pressed together with a medical film 3 placed between the base 21 and the cover plate 22. At least one micro switch is provided in the base 21 to sense the medical film 3 and communicate with the MCU of the medical display 1.

[0033] Specifically, the cover plate 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21 via a hinge 2101. To facilitate easy rotation of the cover plate 22 by the user, it is designed with a "T-shaped" structure. Multiple soft gaskets 2201 are fixed to its lower inner edge. These soft gaskets 2201 can be made of silicone, rubber, or foam, and their main function is to press the medical film 3 firmly, ensuring reliable fixation. At least one magnet 2202 is embedded on both sides of each soft gasket 2201. These magnets correspond one-to-one with the magnet 2102 embedded on the front of the base 21, and their magnetic properties are opposite, attracting each other. To ensure reliable fixation of the medical film, there are certain requirements for the thickness of the multiple soft pads 2201 fixed on the lower edge of the inner side of the cover plate 22. After fixation, their height should be slightly higher than the height of the embedded magnets 2202 on both sides. In this way, when the cover plate 22 is closed, under the mutual attraction of the magnets, the soft pads 2201 can fully contact the medical film 3 and form a compression, thereby firmly fixing the medical film 3.

[0034] The base 21 has an "L" shaped cross-section and contains a built-in magnet. Its cross-sectional shape is adapted to the front frame of the medical display 1, allowing it to magnetically attach to the front frame 11. It contains at least one microswitch 2103, whose contacts protrude through an opening on the front of the base 21. This microswitch 2103 is used to detect the presence and position of a medical film 3. When the doctor places the medical film 3 on the front of the base 21 and closes the cover plate 22, the pressure from the cover plate 22 forces the medical film... When the medical film 3 touches and squeezes the contacts of the micro switch 2103, the signal of the micro switch 2103 changes. When no medical film 3 is clamped, the cover plate 22 is closed, and the contacts of the micro switch 2103 can extend into the groove 2203 provided on the cover plate 22, thereby avoiding the signal change caused by squeezing. The position of the groove 2203 corresponds one-to-one with the micro switch 2103 provided on the base 21. Therefore, the signal change of the micro switch 2103 can be used to determine whether a medical film 3 is clamped.

[0035] A POGOPIN connector male socket 2105 is provided on the side of the base 21 that is adapted to the top surface of the front frame 11 of the medical display 1. A POGOPIN connector female socket 1101 that can be connected and communicated with each other is provided on the top surface of the front frame 11 of the medical display 1. They can be connected and connected to each other, so that the medical display 1 can provide power to the expansion component 2. At the same time, the MCU of the medical display 1 can communicate with the micro switch 2103 located inside the base 21 and control the mode switching of the medical display 1 according to the combined signal fed back by the micro switch 2103.

[0036] An embedded concealed light source 2104 for desktop lighting and supplemental ambient lighting is provided on the lower front of the base 21, and a control switch 2106 for controlling the light source 2104 is provided on the side of the base 21.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] 1) When doctors are reading traditional medical films, the mounting extension component 2 can be used as a film clip with sensing function. That is, the film is fixed by the cover plate 22, the micro switch 2103 senses whether the film is clipped and the specific clipping position, and communicates with the MCU of the medical display 1. The MCU automatically switches the mode of the medical display 1 according to the signal combination fed back by the micro switch 2103.

[0039] The specific operating steps are as follows: First, the doctor needs to overcome the magnetic attraction and flip the cover plate 22 from its vertical position. Then, the doctor places the medical film 3 into the front of the base 21 and closes the cover plate 22. The magnet 2202 on the cover plate 22 will attract the corresponding magnet 2102 on the base. Under the action of attraction, the soft pad 2201 and the medical film 3 are squeezed together, firmly fixing the film between the base 21 and the cover plate 22. At the same time as the cover plate 22 is closed, the medical film 3 is compressed, causing the film to touch the contact of the micro switch 2103 inside the base 21. The contact is compressed, causing a change in the micro switch signal. The micro switch 2103 communicates with the MCU of the medical display 1. The MCU controls the medical display 1 to automatically switch from the normal mode to the lightbox mode. When the doctor opens the cover plate 22 and removes the medical film 3, the contact of the micro switch 2103 returns to normal, the MCU receives the signal feedback, and automatically controls the medical display 1 to switch from the lightbox mode to the normal mode.

[0040] When the doctor inserts films of different sizes, the contacts of microswitches 2103 located in different positions may be triggered. As a result, the MCU of the medical display 1 will receive different combinations of signals from the microswitches. The MCU will control the backlight of different areas of the medical display 1 to be highlighted according to the position of the microswitches in the feedback signals, forming lightbox effects of different sizes to adapt to the reading needs of films of different sizes. This avoids visual interference caused by full-screen brightness when reading small films, and also avoids the high-brightness environment from increasing the doctor's visual fatigue, providing the doctor with a more comfortable reading environment.

[0041] 2) When doctors are reading electronic films, the extension component 2 can be installed upside down. The light source 2104 located directly below the base 21 of the extension component can serve as supplementary ambient lighting. Without affecting the doctor's reading of the films, it can avoid eye fatigue and eye interference caused by prolonged viewing of a bright monitor in a dark environment, thus protecting the doctor's eye health.

[0042] 3) When performing other tasks besides reading images, the extension component 2 can be installed. At this time, the light source 2104 under the base 21 can provide desktop lighting for doctors, making it convenient to write and use the keyboard, and improving doctors' work efficiency. Example 2

[0043] This embodiment provides a multi-functional expansion component 2 for a medical display. Unlike embodiment 1, the cover plate 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21. A torsion spring is provided at the rotatable point between the cover plate 22 and the base 21. The torsion force of the torsion spring can be used to tightly press the cover plate 22 onto the base 21, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the medical film 3. Example 3

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a medical display 1, which includes the medical display multi-functional expansion component 2 described in embodiment 1. The expansion component 2 is detachably fixed to the top of the front frame of the medical display 1 by magnetic attraction and is electrically connected to the medical display 1.

[0045] Specifically, the front frame of the medical display 1 is made of magnetic metal or has a magnetic metal that can attract a magnet on the inner side of the top of the front frame or has a magnet on the inner side of the top of the front frame that has the opposite magnetism to the magnet embedded in the base 21 and adapted to the top surface of the front frame of the medical display 1.

[0046] The top of the front frame of the medical display 1 is provided with a POGOPIN connector female 1101, which is used to connect with the POGOPIN connector male 2105 provided on the base 21. The connection between the POGOPIN connector female 1101 and the POGOPIN connector male 2105 enables the power supply and control of the expansion component 2: the medical display 1 can provide power to the expansion component 2, and at the same time, the MCU of the medical display 1 can communicate with the micro switch 2103 provided inside the base 21. The MCU can control the switching of the medical display 1 mode according to the signal fed back by the micro switch 2103 provided on the base 21 of the expansion component 2.

[0047] In summary, this utility model features a detachable design that magnetically connects to the monitor and communicates with the medical monitor via a POGOPIN. It is convenient and quick to use, and can be disassembled when not in use, providing users with more options and meeting the personalized needs of different users. The film fixing method is intuitive and clear; users can directly observe the film being placed in the appropriate position and simply close the cover to complete the film fixing. The fixing action is simple, efficient, and convenient. The integrated design incorporates desktop lighting and supplementary ambient lighting, further expanding the functionality of the medical monitor. While facilitating doctors' work, it also improves the doctors' working environment and protects their physical and mental health.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
